It's definitely worth taking the time to set up a credit freeze with the three big agencies (Experian, TransUnion, Equifax). Initially setting it up is a pain in the butt and is rage-inducing, as you have to provide a bunch of personal

I usually subscribe and then immediately unsubscribe. You get the service for a month, no need to remember to cancel. It’s just like renting a movie, and (to me) definitely worth it for Get Back . I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it

I've been wanting an app that would let me see all my hikes on a single map. I'd imagine my use case is pretty obscure, but I walk a lot, and I'd like to walk literally every street and alley in my city.

I appreciate your sentiment but sometimes there’s immense pressure to use it because it’s what everyone else is using, and refusing would cause a meeting to be disrupted (or force you not to attend).

Regarding your first point, that’s not a pet owner thing but a family thing. Most people would save their own before helping a stranger. > becoming a pet owner also makes you more likely to want to save an unspecified dog over a unspe

> my observation of pet owners, their empathy for pets seems to reduce their empathy for fellow humans. Hmm, I haven’t seen that correlation, but it’s worth noting that there are all sorts of people who keep pets for all sorts of diffe

The thing about Pinterest is that it seems to be offering something that it never delivers. A few years ago I was doing an image search and I was like, fine, I’ll sign up, I just want to see this image I’m looking for so I went through th

I always thought there was big efficiency to be gained from standardized shopping box sizes for packing into trucks, but I could be wrong about that.

I’ve always known it as stated in the article, and I’m pretty sure that’s right, though I’ve never noticed any functional difference between the two (aside from what any given API may enforce).

I’ve been eyeing render.com for a pretty standard rails stack. Have you experienced any drawbacks or limitations with it so far?

I agree with you and I have no plans to sign up for threads, but I have to admit that there's some part of my monkey brain that has softened on meta throughout all this. I am not saying that feeling is justified; only admitting it&#x

All good here - you made me realize I had assumed a fixed definition of morality (coincidentally, mine), which obviously isn’t right. You changed my perspective.

I think it’s still the case that you have to use Cloudflare’s nameservers, is that right? I’m considering moving domains from Gandi but it would be a lot easier if I could just point at the nameservers I’m currently using on Route 53.

We’re currently using Cybersource, owned by Visa. I argued for moving us over to Stripe because Stripe offered a better rate, and their UI, APIs, reporting, and documentation are much nicer than Cybersource’s. I had also argued for and wo

In terms of "proof", I can't imagine what you'd accept as proof that I'd want to post here. In terms of risk, benign is a pretty good word for it, and we've been using another processor for years and years with
